With a background from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, graduating in 2005, Karrie applies her extensive knowledge and experience to understand each client’s unique challenges and strengths. She diligently offers thoughtful guidance, insightful observations, and heartfelt support tailored to the specific needs, concerns, and constraints of her clients. Her goal is to assist individuals who feel overwhelmed, enhance relationships, or improve family dynamics, working collaboratively to develop actionable plans for improved living. Karrie employs a clinically integrative approach that incorporates psychodynamic theories and effective cognitive-behavioral coping skills, as well as strategies from solution-focused, gestalt, and family systems theories. She believes that personal change involves transforming insight into action, and the therapeutic journey entails understanding emotions, exploring relational patterns, and embracing new ways of interacting with oneself and the world. Having grown up in Conifer, Karrie values the mountain lifestyle and has enriched her practice with over ten years of experience in Chicago, where she worked with diverse populations across ages. Since 2009, she has been grateful to serve the Evergreen community, continuing her passion for guiding individuals and families through their therapeutic journeys.
